Investing.com – Gaming Company Nintendo Co Ltd (T:7974) saw its shares slumping 4.7% on Friday in Asia after CEO Shuntaro Furukawa said there is no plans to launch a new Switch model in 2020.

Reuters’ tech reporter Sam Nussey, who attended a briefing in Tokyo, tweeted out Furukawa's words on a new Switch model. The news contradicted previous reports that suggested a Switch Pro was set to launch this year.

Markets were expecting the new Switch model to be equipped with 4K support and new cartridges. Nintendo upgraded its Switch sales forecast for the year ending March to 19.5 million units on Thursday.The company also reported operating income of 168.7 billion yen ($1.5 billion) in the three months ended December, but that underwhelmed versus the 175.4 billion yen average projection.
